EOY PfW Patch File

Due to the change in EFW and 1099 generation, there will need to be a screen change to the W-2 and 1099 Generation window which means there will be a patch this year.

The patch follows the normal naming structure and ends in "COMP000701."

Patches will be uploaded to your downloads page and to the Penta Product Installer if you have indicated in the past that you use it. If you have any issues accessing the patch file please submit a support ticket. 

Reminder that you are not to install the patch until after the EOY confirmation email from PENTA.

If you are a hosted customer then the patch will be installed as part of the tax kit update.
